Rookie cornerback Vontae Davis probable for season-opener

First-round pick Vontae Davis is listed as probable for Sunday’s opener at Atlanta with a bruised left knee.

Davis practiced all week and wore a neoprene brace on his knee. He is listed as veteran Will Allen’s back-up at left cornerback.

Davis bounced back from a rough pre-season opener, including three penalties, and showed impressive ability as an open-field tackler. He had 11 tackles, including 10 solos, and also chipped in a special teams tackle.
